- Canadian Tv host Erica Ehm interviews Level 42’s Mark King on the program ‘Much Music Tv’, from late 1987/early 1988. Mark demonstrates how to setup the action on the rarely seen blue Jaydee Supernatural series 1 bass and proceeds with some serious slap 🤣👏
Wow, Mark King is a bass genius and he has so many underrated bass lines!! 😀👍
Listen how delightful and sweet and nice and even genuine some women reporters or whatever like this lady were back then, what a great era it must have been. And Mark King making Fleas slap look almost ordinary since at least 1981.
I totally agree
Loove this miracle Man
Brilliant post Lee! Mark made this appearance the night before Level 42 opened for Madonna's Who's That Girl show at The Exhibition stadium in Toronto.
WoW, another time warp video where Mark has an iPhone in 1987... Oh wait, it's just a tool kit.
That blue JD is gorgeous ! Mark is always humble and in 1987 this was MIND BLOWING playing. It STILL is today 35 years later, but as always, the bar gets raised.
Thanks for sharing. This was exceptional.
One and only Mark King ❤❤❤
Mark King " DID NOT INVENT SLAP BASS, Larry Graham of Sly & The Family Stone did in 1968, do your homework sista!!!!!!!
Fancy bass. Fancy chops. Fancy slap technique.
Fancy lady very impressed!
If I were to order a Jaydee series 1, I think it would be in this colour!
My late friends wyn had early eighties jaydee he had from new , I seem to remember he was always meaning to get it sorted out for years
Great find, thanks Lee for uploading! Haven't seen this interview before, captures MK really nicely. Cool interviewer too.
It’s a great interview isn’t it! 💥👍
@@LeeTavMusic Again, it makes me think what else Mark could have done as an improviser in the jazz realm. Phenomenal ability.
He's unique in his kind of playing somehow
Revisiting this one 😀 does anyone know who his bass tech was, who 'did a runner'?? There must be more of a story there... 😃
Hi Whats the brand of the pedal that Mark King was using? Thanks
looks easy im thinking of getting one he said get the best you can get makes it easy work.
That woman, like many women before her, has just realised that bassists make the best lovers.
She does seem rather taken with him.
Mark was so hot in the 80s. 😍😋
He seemed to answer the question of when he started playing the bass as "1979, 80". That seems impossible given they were recording as a band in 1980. They released their debut full album in 1981....and were performing live then. He learned in a matter of months?? Id like to hear a more fulsome answer from Mark about his process and time it took to learn how to play in order to be clear about it. Is there any video or text available that answers this?
I heard that from an early age he learned to play guitar as well as playing the drums; the drums being his forte. I believe he became so good a drummer that at the age of 11, a covers band, doing the usual pubs and wedding venues around the Isle of White, asked his parents for permission for him to go and play for them. So possibly a combination of playing two instruments (one to a high standard) perhaps led to his super fast bass development? Other than that I agree that he's quite vague on the matter to say the least.
@@MG-iv9nw hey.....thank you, MG. I appreciate the additional information. Indeed, given the timeline, he's more than vague....it's weird. Almost suspicious. Not sure why....it seems like a great story.
It could be just a touch of genius he as with the bass guitar. I even heard that it took him a year from picking the bass up for the first time to making the first early recordings with Level 42!!! But like you I'm not sure what to believe. Thanks for the reply@@df3575
mark king a beast playing...... and the girl interviewing is a bit sexy by the way hehe....
Double thumbing wasnt done back then so he is basically hitting every single note without rest except maybe for the hammer ons and taps which i think was already being done then.So you c asn probsbly cheat this solo snd still get th e same effect witjout losing your thumb.
I'd love to know the current whereabouts of this bass.
Mark has amassed a huge collection of bass guitars over the years, which he still keeps at his home on The Isle Of Wight.
I recently saw an interactive interview with him (which is also still on UA-cam) where he had them displayed all over the room that he was sitting in. A very impressive collection.
Man she's a pistol
80’s chicks were hot.
Monster, giant, myth.
Sonething wasn't properly adjusted on the E string
sounds horrible through that Marshal guitar amp
I think that it sounds great. Ahhh...well. Horses for courses.
Louis Johnson is faster....
It's NOT a competition. Mark King has always had huge respect for other bass players such as Billy Cobham, Louis Johnson, etc. He's also a huge fan of influential bands like the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
He was just demonstrating a little of his bass playing technique because she asked him to. That's all.
